The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Targum: Messiah of the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory
Crown of Glory
Isaiah promised that God Himself would be a crown of glory to His remnant.
Old Testament
Isaiah 28:5
In that day the LORD Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people.
New Testament
1 Peter 5:4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Why This Matters
Isaiah promised that God Himself would be a crown of glory to His remnant. Peter connects this to Christ — the Chief Shepherd who bestows an unfading crown of glory on His faithful ones.
Reflection
Lord, the kingdom You promised in Isaiah 28:5 is breaking in through 1 Peter 5:4. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
